The pictures definitely don't do this guitar justice.
Its easily one of the most versatile guitars I've ever played.
2 Blues 90 pickups with hum canceling dummy coil
3-way toggle switch, 6-way Varitone
master tone with push/pull pot to disable Varitone
I got it in the mail about 2 weeks ago, and haven't been able to put it down yet.

That is the coolest thing I've seen all week. Well done...
I saw a pic of BB King with one of those years ago - I'm guessing it was a paid-for publicity pic because I've never seen any recent footage of him playing anything but a 355, but I remember then thinking what a cool guitar it was. It's semi-hollow right?

I believe that was a limited run Baby Lucille or Lucille Jr. or something.

These guitars also had a 25.5".

There is a enthusiast's site here: http://www.blueshawk.info/intro.htm

Ya, thats the Little Lucille.
Basically the same guitar minus the tune-o-matic bridge, and the binding on the neck.

There's actually another blueshwak up on ebay right now, that I'm very tempted to buy.
Just on how much I enjoy this one.
But I think my next purchase will be another nighthawk if i can ever find one again.

And yes, it is a semi-hollow
